Irohazaka road

If you've ever wanted to learn written Japanese, a joy ride on this undulating uphill road offers an unexpected tutorial. These hairpin turns in our photo are just eight of the 48 curves you'll negotiate on your way up and down Irohazaka road, a scenic loop in the highlands outside the city of Nikkō. That's one switchback for each of the 48 hiragana symbols in an ancient Japanese writing system, with each marked by a sign showing one symbol. Not a bad visual aid for the still-learning visitor!

Irohazaka路

如果你曾经想学习日语书面语，在这条起伏的上坡路上愉快地骑着车，你会得到意想不到的指导。在我们的照片中，这些发夹形转弯仅仅是48条弯道中的8条，你将在沿Irohazaka路（Nikkō城外高地上的一个风景优美的环路）上通过。在古代日本书写系统中，48个平假名符号中的每一个都有一个切换，每个符号都有一个符号。对于仍在学习的访客来说，这是一个不错的视觉辅助工具！
